GRACE'S THOUGHTS: A DOCTOR WHO PODCAST COMMENTARY! - 1:16 What is this bit crispy?! Are you OK?! - 3:58 that dragged out lmao - 5:42 what about Class?!?!?!? - 6:38 Troy's comment reminds me of our local museum that has a person always say "sit back, relax, and enjoy the magic of IMAX" just before the movie starts. - 8:05 paused the video here to guess if it was In the Forest of the the Sh- Night. - 8:33 ah, well. It's actually the loss of the people who think Sleep No More is bad and not mine XD - 9:24 I'm pretty sure that it's marmelade yeah. - 11:13 oh yeah I love the cinnamon topography or whatever (joke) but...OH right that awkward line from this episode - 15:23 YOU DON'T WASTE BILL BAILEY!! - 19:24 poop opinion soz - 21:04 Vincent hiii thanks for naming the problem with doctor who twitter - 24:17 frog over big dog gang akldjdkladk - 25:54 praxeus being so high up the list feels a bit mean :( - 27:34 do not understand the space babies hate. ew. - 28:58 Troy is rethinking his friendship with Crispy on this one... - 33:10 Timeless Children is peak. Sorry to the haters! (narrator voice: they weren't sorry) - 36:50 I didn't need to see that Crispy is just wearing short shorts. Sorry. You are so right though, Deep Breath is good. - 38:14 I liked the Tsuranga Conundrum, I think the Pting is cute, sorry not sorry. - 40:06 I tend to dislike the orientalism, personally. My kingdom for a doccy who ep that doesn't perpetuate weird exoticism about China. - 41:35 oh yeah that's. Web Planet is garbage. A giant ant bumps into the camera at one point. It's not good.

The Timeless Children was absolutely lore breaking. Why did the Fugitive Doctor's Tardis look like a police box if it came before Hartnell? Why does the Doctor have two hearts? Why was the Doctor able to regenerate more than 13 times before Time of the Doctor? Why did River Song have her regeneration limit capped? Why did River never encounter any of the Doctor's pre-Hartnell incarnations? Why does everyone, including the Time Lords, refer to Hartnell's Doctor as the Doctor's "first incarnation" every time he came back for a multi-Doctor story? How can both the Doctor and the Master both remember the Doctor choosing the name "The Doctor" as his promise to himself to help people if that name was also used by the Fugitive Doctor, and neither of them should know about anything that happened during his pre-Hartnell incarnations? Why did the Doctor not freak out when he saw earlier incarnations than those he was aware of in Brain of Morbius?

I have 2 ideas you could do for an episode which I think could both be quite fun. 1. Guilty Pleasure episodes: Episodes people like that they feel they shouldnt. Could be quite interesting to see some opinions on that. 2. Comfort episodes: I have quite a unique and strange one I would say, but it is another interesting list that will show some peoples favourite episodes that might not be objectively great. Both Ideas are kind of similar but I think different enough that you could get 2 episodes out of it. Loved this episode as usual, I'm with Crispy though, how is Fear Her not in the top 10 XD.

43:17 FINALLY SOMEONE YOUNGER THAN ME

[@azizuladnan2957]

Yo yo You know how like, there's always new reactors watching Doctor Who, and I just keep on rewatching the same episodes over and over again, cause thier reactions are usually priceless? I just realise... I don't remember anything from The Eaters of Light...

[@mrdoctorgilmore]

Personally, I don't consider episodes like Twin Dilemma or Timeless Children to be the worst because while they make controversial choices they aren't without potential and it's due to a disappointing execution that ultimately let's them down. Episodes like Love and Monsters and Space Babies are harmless fun, cheesy and low brow but enjoyable. I used to say the End of Time, but I recognise why others enjoy it even if I feel it's Russell's weakest plot and it accidentally encourages gatekeeping. For me Doctor Who is such a creative show that in theory it has the opportunity to do whatever it wants, so I'd say the show is at it's worst when their is no ambition or imagination, so for me the episode I think is the worst is The King's Demons, one of the laziest and uninspired concepts of all time and actively throws great character potential away.

[@MrRjhyt]

Troy the high point was the Sontraraan drooling over the word 'Chocolate' in a Liverpool cornershop. How Dare You! This is Chris Chibnall's rebuttal to the whimsical Strax, and the lack of menace with his take. These were meant to be serious and intimidating!... _Weren't they?!_

[@thunderking2456]

1) The Lie Of The Land 4.6 2) The Doctor, The Widow And The Wardrobe 4.5 3) Dinosaur On A Spaceship 4.4 4) Kill The Moon 4.3 5) Arachnids In The UK 4.2 6) Praxeus 4.2 7) Orphan 55 4.1 8) Sleep No More 4 9) The Woman Who Lived 3.9 10) In The Forest Of The Night 3.8

[@MatijaHD]

number 9 is total bs

[@thunderking2456]

@@MatijaHD I don't care for Me, the lion king was crap and there was a severe lacking of Clara. The only good thing about this one was John Swift and the banter between him and the doctor.

[@robo3007]

Agreed with all except The Lie Of the Land and Kill The Moon. Both had a stupid ending but the rest of the episodes were still pretty decent.

[@lorrainesheridan496]

The worst ones are the recent series followed by the Jodie years........

[@joeyunderwood]

they got rid of the QnA section on spotify but I think they replaced it with comments

[@MrRjhyt]

Sorry, I have to disagree about 'Sleep No More' and 'In the Forest of the Night'. Sure the second could've used another draft or two. But it actually explored a powerless Doctor really well, and a companion willing to embrace the end of her species, and choosing to remain with them. Her parting words to the Doctor, before the flip were quite powerful. However, Sleep No More, left me like 'Tenet' wondering what had happened?, Is this a Two-parter?... Do I care?... No.

[@coolerthanice21]

Empire of Death is absolutely a contender for worst episode. Space Babies is fine, but it's a bad choice for a first episode of the series. I didn't watch most of Whittaker's run, so I can't comment on most of the list, but Arachnids in the UK is terrible.

[@davidjbrewer3313]

Say what you like about Space Babies, there's still a basic competency that's difficult to deny. I personally don't like the infodump at the start, but once they meet the babies the plot and character beats work really well. If you don't like the baby effects, or the idea of the bogey monster, fair enough, but my 'hot take' on space babies is simply that it's too long. Edit it into a tight twenty-five minutes removing swathes of the infodump and speeding up the humour, and I think it would have a better reputation.

[@DalekCaanOfSkaro]

I think it is coming back soon, the BBC just need to finalise the edits to remove and replace Huw Edwards

[@dxctr_master]

9:29 YOOOO

[@lloroshastar6347]

I agree with most of these being the worst of the modern era, Deep Breath I don't get though I thought that was perfectly fine and a lot better than many other nu-who stories. But there are classic era stories that are worse than most of these. Horns of Nimon is one of the worst things I've ever seen, and Time-Flight is one of the most boring stories I've ever seen, both are much worse than most of these.

[@WiccanRai]

Bennie! 😢

[@MicahOlsonVlogs]

Troy forgot to post the poll lol

[@dxctr_master]

Space babies is HEAVLY mid but not the worst I’d say

20:29 A bit of corrections, those weren’t supposed to be MY opinion but rather the public perception of that time. I actually really love hell bent and the timeless children!!✨

[@aceyboi8329]

its funny i accept space babies for what it is, I am just tired of the timeless child I agree it didn't break canon but it definitely threw the canon in the blender it definitely shook it up and it felt like it happened for nothing, also I swear to god if we get another wasted doctor, war doctor at the time had a purpose and a slot to fill, but the fugitive doctor is wasted potential and plucked out of gods knows where, now its time for me to talk about legends of the sea devils, wtf it sucked as a sea devil ep and sucked as a pirate one as well, also can they stop giving the doctor human love interests, its funny how I see empire of death how crispy sees space babies, the episode had a lot riding on it, the previous ep a banger still a great ep but it still get slightly tainted it really needed to be a 3 parter, also sutek for a season 1 finale I don't think was the best choice like how do you scale up from fighting the god of death

[@tomgarb6302]

I think end of time is the worst, and its not even close

[@CalWareing]

I watched sea devils today for the spin off actually enjoyed it its all over the place but its fun dan makes it good too

[@RH1812]

Troy, Troy…space babies is awful. Accept it.

[@LewisBuck2005]

Personal I don't think it's bad. And not even close to love and monsters.

[@deltaproductions313]

@@LewisBuck2005love and monster is a damn masterpiece

[@Blazing_Ninja]

Nah, fear her is worse than love & monsters

[@MrRjhyt]

Sorry, I lost the will to live at the end of Flux. I thought everyone died, and that the Earth was the very centre of the Flux and the last thing to be destroyed beyond the spaceship shield, thing... I wish Chris Chibnall's episodes hadn't been so bland, there were only two I could summon the energy to rewatch. The rest were just too incoherent, or worse. For me, Jodie's best episode was 'The Witchfinder General'.

[@kieronbeeston]

Heaven Sent is 100% tge worst episode of Doctor Who and I won't hear otherwise!

[@GwynWilliams-rg8vb]

Genuinely agree

[@vortexalliance9938]

Sorry but you can't blame it on review bombs everytime something gets bad reviews. Also maybe a lot of 13 eps are at the bottom cause the eras bad

[@lloroshastar6347]

It tends to be things get review bombed because they have characters who aren't 'white', women who are not submissive or anyone LGBTQ+. I know some people deny these are the reasons, but it's the boy who cried wolf at this point, every time anything has any of these elements it get review bombed even if it's really good.
